Ethernet or EtherCAT for Motion Control Webinar: Choosing the Right Network for Your Applications
January 26th, 2016 at 11:00 AM EST
With the increasing presence of EtherCAT in the motion control industry, choosing between EtherCAT and Ethernet is becoming an increasingly important question. This presentation will cover the technical differences between both methods and provide advice on how to choose between them based on application requirements. Strengths and weakness of both Ethernet and EtherCAT will be discussed including development time, ease of use, cost, and complexity.
